Our Products

Southbourne Rubber is a long-established manufacturer of rubber parts that are made and tested to the highest standards. As well as having a core and well-stocked product range – which includes o-rings, grommets, gaskets, rubber seals and sheet materials – we are experienced and equipped to satisfy orders for custom moulding in any shape or rubber type required that meet the strictest aerospace and industry requirements. Our rubber products are used in some of the most technologically advanced industries, including: aerospace; defence, land and sea; industrial; commercial; and transport. Owing to the rubber life requirements demanded by our aerospace customers and British Standards, all supplies of parts are manufactured to order. That said, limited stocks for immediate use could be made available at short-notice for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) as agreed.

No matter how big or small your order and what size of rubber parts you require, we can assist you in the bespoke design and custom mounding specifically for your application. The Southbourne Rubber team will be with you at every step: from design and prototype through to production and delivery.

As well as custom rubber parts made to your design, the complete range of products Southbourne Rubber specialises in includes:
